kites

After begging all winter to fly their kites, a warm windy day finally came.  We spent 20 minutes putting all their kites together and another 30 running around trying to keep them in the air before Grace began freaking out that her kite would rip from her hands to be lost in the atmosphere forever, Charlotte decided running around alone was more fun, Alice found the mud puddles, and Madeline got hot.  Sam packed the kites away and we watched our happy girls on the boring school playground.
